Youtube has mad vinyl rips that would never appear on any of those streaming sites due to copyright reasons.

I've checked out the catalog of alot of those sites, and as someone who collected vinyl heavy and was into the indie game and still is on a very prominent level I was actually unimpressed many times with the catalog of music that was on Spotify. Apple music is better...but not by much.

But I can't hate, there's good stuff on all of those...but it's not like I couldn't find 99.9% of those releases with just a google search.

I don't watch much original webseries either...I don't fukk with netflix or hulu.
THIS!!!

IT FUNCTIONS OKAY. PROBLEMS I SEE WITH THE APP ARE MOSTLY WITH INTEGRATION WITH OTHER PLATFORMS. IT DOESN'T WORK WITH ANDROID AUTO OR APPLE CARPLAY. EVERY RADIO I'VE TESTED THIS APP WITH DOES NOT PLAY WELL WITH THE APP.

THEN THEY UP AND CHARGE ME RANDOMLY FOR 20 BUCKS. I WAS MAD THAT I DOWNLOADED ON MY PERSONAL PHONE. I GOT MY 20 BUCKS BACK BUT I WAS STILL PISSED.

EVERYTIME I DISCONNECT FROM ANY RADIO TIDAL OPENS AND STARTS PLAYING RANDOM MUSIC. I HATE THE APP NOW.

Idk why but I have problems sometimes with the app. It says no connection tap to refresh. Also there's not enough exclusive content that warrants me paying 9.99 monthly.

The roll out and people saying they were getting charged for the trial as soon as they Got it stopped me from giving it a try. Got it for the Kanye album and it seems cool so far..we will see. Spotify is what I use cause it has the best lists, it's 4.99 and the app runs well. I got rid of Apple after the trial cause it had a few bugs, it cost more, and it wasn't as smooth as Spotify.

I've never hated Tidal, I think some do because it becomes "trendy". I don't know enough about Tidal to check it, I've used Spotify and that's the main streaming service I've utilized this far, for mainly hearing an album early before I receive it or previewing to see if it's worth it or not. However I'm doing some business in a similar area so I will be researching and signing up to all the big streaming sites soon to test them all so should be able to form an opinion soon.

What do people think is the best 1 and why anyway?.... What about for artists?

i don't really have no dog in the streaming service race because i've had a trial with Apple music and never kept it on and i have a trial ith Tidal now ue to the Ye album and Money & Violence season 2.

i'd guess, and i'm sure most people in here have probably said the same....because the roll out was awful.

looked like some shyt straight out of the Avengers mixed in with talking as if they had found the cure for every illness imaginable yet it was to only ask to join this streaming service to give the artists a better deal with streaming money they never delved into whats goos about it or the benefits for indie artists etc.

and i'd assume most people fukked with Apple Music because of convenience.

I don't hate it but I won't leave Spotify for it. I was with Spotify a year + so i'm not going to move. Spotify doesn't try to force my hand with exclusive content either. I liked Beats 1 radio when I had it though.

I've really wanted to support Tidal but that first mover advantage is a motherfukker. Spotify has just held me down since 2013. I can't say I've had any reason to switch. I'm too adapted to their UI/UX.

Im a JayZ fan and I do want to support Tidal though, if they get more dope web series ala money and violence I'd do it. Plus I fukk with some of the giveaways and shyt they've had in the past (made in America, b side concert). I really didn't like all the media bashing against tidal last year, the shyt seemed so contrived, almost like it was a conspiracy or some shyt.
This is me, i just had spotify already and had no complaints, i never had any negative feelings towards tidal
